Awaken Book 2: Hell's Rejuvenation

35

"Hiro. Are you ok?" Genesis asks as she runs to him and holds him as he sees BenKei in the distance. "Hey guys. I sensed this energy and it had me....had me...." BenKei says slowly as his world just shatters like glass as he sees pass everyone else and sees his father, Okada, lying dead in the glass. "Who..." BenKei says as his head goes down. "Who did what?" Donovan asks behind him. "Killed my father. He was alive, Salo told me he went immediately down to Ebon, didn't even think to wait and heal." BenKei says as he balls his fists and drops to a knee, punching the ground repeatedly with mixed emotions. "WHY....WHY....WHYYYYY?!?" He yells as he rips some of his hair out, tears roll down his face, and everyone around him feels bad for him and doesn't reply to his cries. "Knonus killed him, shoved me out of the way of an attack and got the lethal end of it...had me dodge a bullet there." Hiro says as he puts his thumb up towards as BenKei sees it and hesitates. He wipes his tears away and slowly delivers a thumbs up back to him, a warm neutral feeling floods over as everyone smiles and laughs amongst each other.

~Aftermath..~

BenKei carries his father's dead body, Donovan creates a neat burial for him as he places his body in; "Thank you, dad. I'm sure you had a lot to tell me, we'll keep in touch." He says as the door closes. "So what do we do now?" Genesis asks as Salo arrives behind them. "I'm sure you have so many plans to do but we need to talk. All of ya." Salo snaps, transporting everyone to Heaven and everyone appears one by one. Quinn, Den, Madison, Andrew, Allen(SupaSound), Whitmore, Wenda, Parrish, Hiro, BenKei, Genesis, Donovan, Rana, Ava, Kain, Mary, Sim, Paige, and Ash all seat in the chairs around the table. "Glad ya all came here." Salo says as he sits at the top and stands to speak. "The Gods, Saints, and Goddesses all chatted, we all talked, gave a lot of points, made a lot of senses, and argued for quite sometime....we came to conclusions that will be full proof as it's all said and done. BenKei, Hiro, Ash, and Rana will be taught by me. They all best have the qualities for me to teach you many things." He first orders as BenKei nods with a determined look on his face. "Now...hm...Parrish, Wenda, Whitmore, Paige, Andrew, and Allen, y'all gotta stay on Earth Realm and build its defenses. Allen. You have possession of technology that can hit and effect demons without a sweat, create weaponry that can assist to Earth's Military, Army, Air Forces, Navy ships, everything that doesn't have a weapon, give it a weapon. Sim, Mary, and Kain(Ava I didn't forget and congrats to be married soon), you'll head to Ebon and get your tribes of your races ready if Knonus brings an onslaught onto Ebon unexpectedly." Salo says as he walks around the table and continues as he pats Quinn on his shoulder. "Quinn, you have Kiano's powers, the Goddess of Ebon will be glad to teach you. Thomas, your mother would be proud of you, sadly she isn't here to guide you further, her last words was to make you ready for everything....I will take you to Ebon and you'll encounter all the Elemental Titan Elders: Elder of the Skies and Winds(Wind Titan), Elder of the Rapid Waters(Aqua Titan), Elder of the Earth and Rocks(Earth Titan), and Elder of theThunder(Lightning Titan). Since you're a hybrid, you have untapped potential in you that only will come up with enough determination and focus." Salo says as Thomas nods. "Donovan, you...are a man of strategy, you'd think first and fast and accurate. You'll be grouped with the God of Knowledge himself, he'll give you all you need to know to better yourself and get you to the top of your peak." Salo says as Donovan smiles. "Alright!" He says as he seems very excited. "Genesis and Den, the God of Knowledge has provided you books and tools to use for your magic, you're a strong woman, you must be more of a support to handle demons that magic doesn't affect. You need to learn hand to hand, combat to enhance your power internally. Then...then you'll be a threat." Salo says as Genesis agrees. "Understood!" She says back. "Any questions? We commence training in a week, so get your food, sleep, and all else comfort, you're gonna need it." Salo asks as everyone looks around and talks amongst themselves. "Can't wait to see what else I can do, Okada, I'll do you proud." BenKei says as he smiles. "If there's nothing else, then let the preparations BEGIN." Salo says as everyone looks around nods and gets up.
